1966

SHANTY TOWN * SOUL BROTHERS * ISLAND 3015 * UK

The winds of change can be heard on this late Ska from the Soul Brothers as the dynamism and thrusting momentum of earlier tracks has given way to a slightly more brooding and cautious rhythm, still Ska but anticipating the Rock Steady that was to soon come. Of course this track, having a darker, smoldering edge to the music, alters how one reflects on its title when hearing it.
